22. I want to go back
Xie Shiyu was woken up by the heat. She only felt a stuffy heat in her body and did not feel any coolness at all.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying in Xi Zhengyu's arms, covered with a blanket.
No wonder it feels hot; this temperature is just right for a human, but not for a mermaid.
She glanced at the time; it was only 4:30. Xie Shiyu got out of his arms, threw back the covers, and got out of bed.
This action woke Xi Zhengyu up. He propped himself up with one hand, called out, and then all the lights in the room turned on.
"Where are you going?" Xi Zhengyu was woken up by the noise, his head was a little sore, and he saw Xie Shiyu walking towards the door in slippers, so he asked.
"I want to be heated into mermaid jerky, I want to go back to sleeping on the big seashell bed," Xie Shiyu complained, pouting. "I don't want to sleep with you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xi Zhengyu glanced at the room temperature, finding it suitable for him but not for the little mermaid.
No wonder she wanted to go back to sleep.
"Alright, alright, go sleep in the big seashell." After saying that, Xi Zhengyu threw off the covers, got out of bed, grabbed his own pillow, and walked over to Xie Shiyu. "I have one, right?"
Xie Shiyu's eyes widened. "You're coming too?"
"Um."
After saying that, he put his arm around her shoulder and went out. When they arrived at the large seashell bed, Xi Zhengyu raised his hand and pushed the wooden board on the bedside table, and a small button appeared in front of him.
I don't know which button he pressed, but the bed, which was submerged in water, slowly rose out of the water.
Xie Shiyu was shocked by what she saw.
This bed can be raised.
What followed shocked Xie Shiyu: the bed, which had been submerged in water, dried completely in just one minute after being removed from the water.
Xi Zhengyu adjusted the temperature to a comfortable level for the two of them to sleep together, and then lowered the black privacy screen.
"Go to sleep." Xi Zhengyu was very sleepy. After finishing all this, he threw his pillow on the bed and lay down. Seeing her standing there blankly, he patted the other side of the bed and said, "Come and sleep."
Lying on the cold bed, Xie Shiyu still found it unbelievable.
So she's been sleeping outdoors like an idiot these past few days.
The little mermaid was soft and cuddly in his arms, which made Xi Zhengyu very content.
He closed his eyes contentedly and went back to sleep. Xie Shiyu didn't want to bother him with questions about why he hadn't told her these things.
Lying in Xi Zhengyu's arms, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Xie Shiyu was having another dream.
She stood under the spotlight, looking around at all the mermaids.
There are old people, young people, and middle-aged people.
They stood together, their eyes all fixed on Xie Shiyu.
Seeing this, Xie Shiyu frowned. Why were they looking at her like that?
Just as she opened her mouth to ask, the little mermaid with the golden fishtail stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of Xie Shiyu.
"Sister, can you take us home?"
The little mermaid looked at her with big, bright eyes and asked with a particularly innocent and carefree smile.
Take them home?
Xie Shiyu frowned even more. If they wanted to go home, they should go back. She didn't even know where their home was.
"I'm sorry, this older sister can't help you." Xie Shiyu squatted down, looked at the little boy, and said in a gentle and pleasant voice.
"Because my sister doesn't know where your home is."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the mermaids began to speak.
"We can never go back."
"I will never receive the blessing of the sea god again. Am I destined to wander here forever?"
"I want to go back."
"We became homeless mermaids."
Their voices were filled with sorrow and desolation, and Xie Shiyu frowned as she listened to their conversation.
Is there no going back?
Where are they going back to?
"Sister, please take us home." The little mermaid stepped forward and took Xie Shiyu's hand, her expression very serious.
"We will always be here waiting for you."
After they finished speaking, they slowly disappeared, leaving Xie Shiyu standing there at a loss.
While she was panicking and unsure of what to do, she was woken up by someone pushing her.
"Get up. Didn't you say you were going to check out the shop today? Still sleeping?" Xi Zhengyu's voice rang out, instantly pulling Xie Shiyu back from her dream.
Xi Zhengyu had finished washing up and was wearing a suit, making him look even more handsome.
Xie Shiyu sat up, her eyes somewhat vacant.
She dreamed of the little mermaid again.
I dreamed of even more mermaids this time, and I don't know why I dreamed of so many mermaids.
"Did you sleep so much that you're dizzy?" Xi Zhengyu asked with a light laugh when he saw her looking dazed.
"No," Xie Shiyu replied slowly.
After she finished packing, Xi Zhengyu took her out of the house.
The Silverwing stopped in the city center, and Xie Shiyu was amazed by the surrounding scenery after the two of them got out.
There are so many shops here, and not only are there many shops, but there are also a lot of people shopping.
Only after Xi Zhengyu explained it to her did Xie Shiyu realize that she had gotten a good deal.
The rent here is at least several hundred thousand Star Coins a month, and the people who can afford to shop here are all people with some money and some power.
She'll become incredibly wealthy. When she no longer wants to run the shop, she can rent it out and the monthly rent will be enough to cover her expenses.
She's really made something of herself.
Upon arriving at the store, Xie Shiyu began to look around, pondering how to decorate it.
The shop is quite large, which allowed her to make her plans.
Xi Zhengyu stood aside and watched. In fact, it was a waste to use such a big shop to sell seashells.
But since he and the little mermaid wanted to sell seashells, it wasn't a waste.
"I've figured out how to decorate!" After looking at the photos, Xie Shiyu turned around and said to Xi Zhengyu with a smile.
Xi Zhengyu reached out and patted her head, smiling as he asked, "How do you plan to decorate?"
"I'll draw it on paper for you when we get back," Xie Shiyu wanted to say, but found herself unsure how to describe it. In the end, she smiled and said to him.
"OK."
After visiting the shop, Xi Zhengyu took her to the company.
When they arrived at the company building, Xie Shiyu looked up at the empire that Xi Zhengyu had built, her small mouth never closing.
"Is the whole building yours?" Xie Shiyu asked, unable to resist asking as he led her into the company.
“Yes.” Walking to the front desk, Xi Zhengyu pulled the little mermaid in front of him and then said to the receptionist, “Enter her information for me, she’s at the same level as me.”
"From now on, let her pass directly when she comes."
The receptionist responded while operating the equipment, Xie Shiyu, who was so good at finding time to slack off.
Today, Xie Shiyu wore a light blue dress and went out without makeup. Her long silver hair was tied into a low ponytail, making her look beautiful, pure, and lovely.
She smiled at Chairman Xi with such a beautiful smile that even an outsider like herself found it sweet.
I thought to myself, Mrs. Xi is so beautiful.
"Mrs. Xi, look at the camera."
Upon hearing the prompt, Xie Shiyu quickly looked at the camera, and her face was scanned.
After that, they took fingerprints, and once everything was done, Xi Zhengyu led his people upstairs.
As soon as I arrived at the office, there was a knock on the door, and then a woman in a black pencil skirt came in with some documents.
When the woman entered, she saw the usually aloof CEO Xi serving people, and disbelief and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
